removal of religion from the discrimination act !

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

labour illegally forced religion onto the discrimination act and used a law to over rule the house of lords to blackmail them into agreeing !

this act is a contradiction of what charles bradlaugh fort for and is being abused to give religions special priverlages and immunity from our laws!
it is being abused to discriminate against atheist,agnostic and non-religious people !
it has been abused to criminalize people who do not accept a religious ideology and is forcing the view of a religious ideology onto non-believers and society,
religion is a choice, hence children do not have a right to choose ,
it is not a right or a race .

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what action you want Parliament to take.

We think you may be concerned about the Equality Act. You might like to know that it is already against the law to discriminate against someone because of their religion, belief or lack of religion/belief. You can find out more here:
